Browsing multiple build logs on various shipbuilder forums I have never thought, that one day I will open my own shipbuilding log. I just thought, that those types of logs a great responsibility to engage others in your build process: not just show what you do, instead, share your knowledge how you do it. I am hoping that someone may benefit the log and find it somehow valuable. I will try my best and make it fun to read...

This is the beginning of my build log. I'm still working on finishing up my Longboat Build: 18th Century Armed Longboat but I've been gathering materials for the cross section build so I figured I'd start posting.

I printed all the materials and put them in a binder. I still need to print the jig prints but everything else is ready to go.

I'm relatively new to ship modelling. Started in 2014 Feb building HMS Bellona. Not from a kit but from scratch. Only material from DIY shops and .. anything else found in scrap yards and $1 shops As of today I reached the stage of putting up the masts. Few pictures here.

This will log my third plank on hull ship build. I am learning that one of the major attributes for this hobby is to go slow. I took nearly a year to build the BENJAMIN LATHAM, but did so in somewhat hurried spurts. The results were varied but usually entailed multiple instances of tear out and redo. Although my skill sets are improving, they are in no way a match for some of the fantastic quality builds I see here at SOS. So with that disclaimer I start on number 3.
